Missing puppy Teddy reunited with owner

A Swanbourne couple offered $20,000 for the return of their Spoodle.

When a distraught pet owner in Perth employed a pet detective to look into the case of her missing puppy, a 10-week-old poodle/cocker spaniel cross called Teddy, they uncovered some interesting audio from CCTV footage of the alleged theft.

Security cameras captured a man allegedly coaxing the Spoodle out of the laundry and into the backyard of a Swanbourne home last Friday.

Audio analysis appeared to capture a man remarking: "That's a $2000 dog."

Fortunately, after offering a $20,000 reward for Teddy's return, the story had a good ending.

Mundijong detectives returned the missing puppy to his grateful owners on Thursday night after a social media tip-off lead police to an Armadale home.

Police have charged a 39-year-old man with stealing the dog and will appear in Perth Magistrate's Court on April 30.
